Just to be clear, I was thinking of some moderate changes to be implemented by individuals to change the most illogical of spelling thru linguistic evolution.  I do oppose some central authority deciding what the "correct" spellings ar and forcing everyone to comply.  I just think it's crazy to freeze the spellings at what some dictionary-editor arbitrarily decided to use in the aiteenth century.

Howevr, it can be fun tu rite in wierd-looking Inglish.

Spellings hav always changed, and it is quite silly to insist on current standards.  Nothing "utopian" about it.
